Its a 2002 Bayliner 1950 Classic bow rider with the 3.0L Mercruiser and galvanized trailer, bimimi top, boat cover, DF, skis and wakeboard. It only has 29 hours on the meter, all freshwater. It was winterized and stored 2 or 3 years ago and hasn't been started since. Pictures of it look great. I can't go and try it out because it's up in the mountains of West Virginia, and I'm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. If I buy it for $8000, he'll bring it on down to me. (He will first get it un-winterized and lubed/tuned up by the dealer)
My concerns:
I've read all about the '80s/'90s deck rotting reps of the Bayliners. The 2002 Bayliners used the XL plywood for the deck. Did this (or something else) solve the problem?
It was winterized by the dealer, but it's been sitting (covered) for maybe 3 years. Any problems with seals or condensation or anything else I don't know about?
Does $8000 seem OK in this boat buyer's market?
I am really flipping a coin on this, so any advice would help.
Thanks,
Jim
